Seasonal Drinks For Autumn
Dill Lemonade
Bright, sharp lemon meets the fresh, green lift of dill in a lemonade unlike any you've tried. Zingy and savoury-edged, it's wonderful on its own and even better alongside food: think smoked fish, salads, or anything fresh from the grill.
How it's made: We start with a ginger bug, a wild starter made by feeding fresh ginger and sugar until it bubbles with natural yeasts. Organic dill is steeped in filtered water and sweetened with organic cane sugar and lemon juice, then fermented with the ginger bug so it develops a lively, natural fizz.
Ingredients: Filtered water, organic dill, lemon juice, organic cane sugar, ginger bug culture, citric acid, ascorbic acid.
Lemon Verbena Kombucha
Lemon verbena has one of the brightest scents in the herb garden: pure, sherbet-like lemon without the sharpness. Brewed into a delicate green tea kombucha, it makes a light, fragrant and gently tart drink that tastes like a summer afternoon.
How it's made: We brew organic green tea, sweeten it with organic cane sugar, and ferment it with a live kombucha culture until it turns pleasantly tart. Organic lemon verbena is then added to infuse its fresh, citrusy aroma before bottling.
Ingredients: Filtered water, kombucha culture, organic cane sugar, organic lemon verbena, organic green tea.
Pear & Sage Kefir
Soft, ripe pear with the warm, savoury depth of fresh sage. This water kefir is light, dairy-free and softly sparkling, with an autumn orchard in every glass.
How it's made: Water kefir grains, a living culture of bacteria and yeasts, ferment sweetened water for a couple of days. We then add organic pear juice and fresh organic sage, which bring their flavour to the drink and help build its gentle sparkle.
Ingredients: Filtered water, organic pear juice, kefir culture, organic cane sugar, organic sage, ascorbic acid, citric acid.
